help on working the speed part of the muscles

[El Gamo]

So when doing weights,what would you recommend? Or would you say to stay away from weights altogether?

Put it this way, they are not essential.

You need strength you can use if you are training for a sport, Isolating specific muscles and piling loads of weight on them during the lifts is at best over kill and at worse going to limit your speed and therefor power.

I'm trying to find a video of a good UFC fighter's weight routine, if weights work for you it's the type of route you should follow, bear with me...

Daxx,could you elaborate on that please? I always thought that lifting heavier would make one stronger??

Lifting heavier will make you be able to lift heavier weights, but it will not make you stronger when it comes to boxing.

The secret of punching hard and accurate is simple in Boxing dont move your head. at first that sounds crazy, also if you want to avoid punches and not get hit dont move your Head. think about it.

I understand the second part without understanding the first part. Why would moving one's head have a bearing on punching hard and accurate?Explain~!!1
